Carrera II's are 20/22lbs. I think Carrera III are several lbs heavier.

 

This is a timely post. Replacing the 18" twists on my car is going to be high on the todo list once the maintenance items are complete.

Right now the MY02 wheels are highest on the list, but have been off and on searching for other alternatives. OZ Alleggerita wheels are 18lbs/19lbs F/R, so lighter than MY02s, and reasonably priced. Not a big fan of the look, though.

From a previous thread on this topic:

 

I like the Allegrita's as well. Just picked up a cheap set of 8.5"F/12"R for some experimentation.

 

Here is the list of different Porsche wheels and weights: http://www.944racing.de/wheelweights.php As you can see the Carrera II is an excellent choise, I bought a set myself for my 99 C4

 

Thats the one I was looking for

So I guess GT3 vs 5 spoke Carrera IIs:

Front:
(8.5") 11.43 kgs vs. (8") 9.3 kg

Rear:
(11") 12.92 kgs vs (10") 10.3 kg

 

Anyone know what wheels these are?

 

http://wheeldynamics.com/porsche-cars.html 808 wheels

 

both a great look AND lightweight!

semi-OT - how does one differentiate the hollow spoke vs solid spoke turbo twist wheels?

 

By looking at the backside of them. But I don't think the hollow spokes are available in narrow body fitment for the rears.

 

Thanks, didn't realise they were "19s but just saw the 18" option too. They do look good!

 

HI there sir,

Yes, they are available for narrow body (HOLLOW), we do stock at least one set.

Also the 996-Turbo twist is a design is available for narrow body (we have one set of those also in-stock) however I don't recall ever seeing a set of narrow hollow 996-Turbo design.

 

Are you looking for an 18" option only?

We are limited in stock right now but the 18" RS-808 (Satin black) is a good consideration.

18-lbs front
19-lbs rear

An other option is the GT3 Replica wheels. . . .

Sizes offered: Front: 18x8.5 (et. 52) @ 21-lbs Rear 18x10 (et. 54) @ 23-lbs. SILVER FINISH ONLY (custom finishing is available)

These are still lighter than the solid spoke wist wheels.
